Chapter 368
In the study…
Maya and Caden left a while ago, and Damon was reading reports. There was always work to do, and he decided to keep busy until Talia finishes with her visit to the patients, so they can go upstairs together.
Everyone was planning to head to the Shifters nightclub, and Damon asked Talia if she wanted to go, but she refused. With everything going on, Talia wanted to stay home, and Damon accepted that wholeheartedly. He would never say no to a night of cuddles (and much more) with his kitten.
Damon told Maya and Caden to go ahead without him and he will join when he finishes work, but Maya and Caden knew that Damon had no intention of joining them.
As a bonus for staying home, Damon got to wrap up extra work while waiting for Talia to finish with Dawn and Zina.
‘KNOCK-KNOCK p>
Damon raised his gaze from the monitor to look at the door while wondering why would Talia knock. Maybe she was not sure if Caden and Maya left, or… was she doing some roleplay?
Damon remembered that Talia mentioned see-through nightwear and Damon’s imagination went wild. What if she was wearing a sexy number and a coat to cover it up? Should he act like a boss, and Talia will be a disobedient employee that needs punishing? He will punish her until she moans his name breathlessly right on his executive desk, and then they would move on the sofa. Or should they start from his chair? Ah, the options!
‘KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK p>
This series of knocks came with more urgency.
Damon adjusted his hard-on, ruffled his hair, and leaned lazily in the chair to look extra attractive, and then he called, “Come in p>
The door cracked open, and Damon’s expression froze when he saw the person.
Nora.
Damon craned his neck to see if there was anyone behind her and he frowned when she closed the door. It was just Nora.
Somehow, Damon had a bad feeling about this.
So far, three out of four guests from the Red Moon pack caused him trouble, one way or another. Is this the part where he gets four out of four? This must be some kind of a record!
But the worst part was that Nora dared to come to the study without being summoned. If that were Tony or Maddox, Damon would assume they have something pack-related to discuss, but what can Nora talk about with Damon?
Her sickly-seductive smile told him that she didn’t come to talk.
“Alpha Damon…”, Nora called in a sultry voice that made his insides churn. “Am I disturbing you p>
Yes! I am very much disturbed!
‘Kick her out of here!’, Damon’s wolf growled.
“Miss Nora, can I help you?”, Damon asked stiffly while struggling to contain his wolf. Crippling Nora didn’t sound like a wise thing to do. ‘Calm down! She will leave. No need for violence p>
His wolf grumbled but eased up with hostility.
Nora smiled while making her way toward Damon in slow motion. “I heard that you are working late, and I was wondering if I can help you p>
Damon’s senses for danger were tingling but he kept his cool expression on. “You are a guest, Miss Nora. It would be impolite if I asked you to work. You should be having fun with…” He wanted to say Marcy, but he realized how that would take her attention to the topic he should avoid. “…other guests p>
“Oh, I don’t mind. I like to be useful. Besides, who said that working won’t be fun p>
Damon remembered that Maya told him how Nora was taken care of. Maya wouldn’t lie to Damon, but why was Nora here? “Shouldn’t you be in the Shifters nightclub p>
Nora bobbed her head. “I told Mindy that I will go with Maya, and I told Maya that I will go with Mindy, and here I am, available to help you. Is there something I can do to ease your load? Anything is fine.” She paused and gave him a seductive look. “Anything p>

Damon’s brows came together in a frown. The fact that she tricked both Maya and Mindy in order to stay in the packhouse, told Damon that Nora won’t give up easily.
“Miss Nora, there is nothing here for you to do. I will get one of my warriors to escort you to the Shifters nightclub so that you don’t waste your evening here p>
Nora pouted. “Come on, why are you so cold? Don’t pretend that you don’t remember p>
Damon’s insides tightened as the sense of crisis enveloped him. “Remember, what p>
“You were visiting the Red Moon pack and I came to your room. I offered you tea, singing a song, a massage, or myself. You picked the last p>
Damon thought that the room was spinning as images of him taking Nora from behind flashed in his mind.
Damn it! It would be easier if she came to his study with a knife in her hand.
The only good thing was that Talia was not present to hear Nora’s nonsense. Actually, it was not nonsense. It was the only time Damon was with a woman (other than Talia) after he found out that Talia was his mate.
He was stupid and he didn’t understand the bond, and he was lucky that Talia’s wolf was deep in slumber because if that beast was awake, Talia would feel the pain of her mate betraying her.
Yes, Damon didn’t acknowledge their mate connection then, and he didn’t know Talia’s name or feel the addictive sparks that make him feel alive… but none of those changed the fact that he betrayed Talia. He will never forgive himself that ignorant act, and it seems that Nora didn’t forget it.
Guilt was eating Damon from the inside, and he felt the urgency to get Nora out of his sight.
“That was then, Miss Nora. Please leave before someone sees you here and gets a wrong idea.” And that someone would be Talia.
Nora cocked an eyebrow. “Are you worried about Marcy? She is not here. I waited for everyone to leave for the Shifters nightclub before coming here. Only some Omegas are around, and I’m sure they are not important.” She moved closer to his desk and leaned over it. “No one will know p>
Damon felt rage bubbling inside him. He was about to respond, but the words got stuck in his throat when he realized that the door behind Nora was open. He craned his neck to see Talia narrowing her eyes at the scene of Nora leaning over his desk.
He failed to realize in time how the rage that consumed him was not his.
Cold sweat drenched Damon’s back. Based on Talia’s expression, this was not good. How much did she hear?
